Today the Narve panchayat had called a special gram Sabha to discuss the RP and hundreds of people from the village were present for the meeting. In the beginning the sarpanch, Laxman Malwankar told about the importance of Regional plan and why it is being introduced by the government. He also told the people the need of the plan in the years to come when there would be technological and other types of development. "The plan would serve the need of the future generation and it is implemented taking into consideration the years to come" Malwankar told. Later, the floor was open for the public to express their opinion. During this time the villagers appreciated the long speech given by the sarpanch and demanded that he should talk about the village rather than the entire country. The people demanded with the sarpanch to explain the RP to the public before the discussion could start. "They have planned without even visiting the village and so we demand that the sarpanch should explain the plan before the discussion could start" a resident stated. At this the sarpanch tried to do away with the situation but the people told that he should have gone through the map before the meeting. "I am not the technical expert in this field and if anyone of you have the knowledge they should explain it to the public" sarpanch told. At this the mob got furious and demanded that the sarpanch should either tell what he knows about the plan or give in writing that he is unaware about it" people asked. The sarpanch denied to give anything in writing and told that the secretary could explain the map. But on the contrary the Secretary, Manohar Gaonkar told that neither he nor the BDO is a technical expert but only an engineer could explain it properly. At last the sarpanch accepted that he is not knowing about the plan. After much chaos the people at last accepted that one Smita Bale would explain the map to the villagers. But, than another problem cropped up when Bale demanded written permission with the sarpanch to explain the entier RP. At this point the people gheraod the sarpanch. The matter was solved when two of the panch members including Narayan Chodankar and Pratishta Mishal signed and gave a written permission. At last after Smita Bale explained the RP and it was decided to reject the plan based on 11 points detrimental to the village. The resolution to this effect was proposed by Sanjay Mandrekar and was seconded by Rajendra Morajkar. The gathering also suggested some remedies to the RP and asked to include all the existing temples, springs, forest areas and other things into the plan. Panch members including Unatti Padwalkar and Gopikishan Amonkar were also present for the meeting. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
